My self-hosted Nextcloud instance is up and running, but it still behaves more like a proof-of-concept than the snappy cloud-storage solution I need day to day. I’m looking for a seasoned Nextcloud specialist who can step in, review my current setup, and apply solid performance-tuning practices. What I’ve got • A functioning, up-to-date Nextcloud deployment being used primarily for personal and small-team file storage and sync • Server-level access (SSH / root) plus admin credentials inside Nextcloud What I need from you • Profiling and pinpointing the current bottlenecks (database, PHP, caching layer, webserver) • Implementing best-practice tuning: Redis or Memcached, OPCache / APCu, database indexing tweaks, appropriate cron configuration, and any recommended PHP-FPM or Nginx/Apache adjustments • Verifying that large-file uploads, external storage mounts, and desktop/mobile sync clients respond noticeably faster after your work • A concise summary of changes so I can reproduce or undo them later if needed If you’ve squeezed every last millisecond out of other Nextcloud installs before—using tools like MySQLTuner, Redis-CLI, or built-in Nextcloud metrics—this will be straightforward. Drop me a note highlighting one similar optimization you’ve done, and we’ll schedule a quick call to hand over server details.
